How many addresses do I have to be using for it to count as in use? How high will that number go in the next few months/years?
The most important thing to ensure "usage" is recognized is that the entire address space is announced plus routed, at least one valid host exists, reverse DNS servers are live, AND ensure that all contact details in the WHOIS database are present, accurate,and up to date; including phone numbers, postal address, and e-mails for the organization contacts.
You might look into the option of signing the Legacy RSA: https://www.arin.net/resources/legacy/ Available until Dec 2011; If your allocation predated ARIN.
I gather that if you're considering signing an LRSA, you might want to take *technically competent* legal advice first. Cheers, -- jra
